evening, from the effects of which she died
Monday night about O'Clock, notwitbstand-
ing the utmost efforts of the doctor, who was
called in..as soon as possible. Some neighbors
accused the husband of having abused her,
and he was arrested and lodged in Jail; but
an exhaustive inquiry before the coroner's
jury failed to substantiate the charge, and
| he was acquitted and discharged. The de-
ceased leaves a child about four months old.
She was subject, the husband says, to tenn
porary fits of discomfort, and it was during
one of them she took the poison. Mr.. Schaefer
is % years old, and his deceased wife was
just 81. They had been married about two
years. He is hard working miner, and the
| neighbors say has always provided well for
his family.
Last Friday stranger got off the train at
Annapolis, intending to board it again before
1t moved on. But he failed to make connec-
tion and "was left" To while away the
time until the coming of the next train, he
went into Johnson's saloon and there engag.
ed In a game of cards with Thos. Jackson,
Jr. After few drinks dispute arose over
the game, and the stranger was felled to the
floor by left-handed blow from Jackson.
The latter then grabbed his victim with one
hand, and pounded him over the head with
the other in which he held an open knife.
As they neared the door Jackson gave the
stranger a shove, and at the same time stab
bed him with his knife, the blade penetrat-
ing the cavity. The latter fell, and the
former mounted his mule, hitched near by,
and rode of, and has not been heard from

to the hospital next day, and it is said his
chance for recovery is extremely doubtful.
He is from Ohio.
The Cornet Band Oyster Supper was a
success beyond the expectations of "the
boys" The arrangements had been we'll
perfected, and everything moved along nice
ly in the best of order. The net proceeds
are over $40, and the members of the band

tempting display especial thanks were voted
In the following resolution unanimously
adopted:
Resolued, That the Ironton Cornet Band
acknowledges with pleasure the assistance
accorded them on Friday evening, 9th inst,
by the young ladies Of 1ronton, without

the affair would have been limited indeed.
We one and all tender them our hearty
thanks and assure them of our full appreci-
alton of their labors in our behalf.
Resolved, That the foregoing be put upon
the minutes, and copy be published in the
REGISTER.
A few nights ago, when the moon was
Il ,;ks.
birth went to the spring from which his
family usually gets its supply Of water, and
drew forth bucket full of the refreshing
liquid. AS the weather was warm and he
thirsty, he took a long pull from the tin
bucket, the six-quart bucket, that stores
usually sell, and carried the remainder
home, placing it on the kitchen table. He
then went to bed to enjoy the sleep that
cometh to all who have health and clear con-
science. Next morning, when he had start
ed the fire and came to fill the tea.kettle
from the bucket, behold the bottom there
of was covered with leeches. "Did swallow
ony o. them" was his first thought; the
next as to the remedy, if he had. How he
solved that question he told next morning
talking to friend. 81 took one of the
leeches out of the bucket and put drop of
| whiskey Upon him, and it cooked him intire-
ly. So, if you swallow a leech, my boy, just
take a drink of whiskey atop of him, and
you're all right, whativer the animal may
think of !" This is one of the cases wherein
the remedy is not worse than the disease,
unless you happen to be w. &. T. u, in
which event we have no medical advice to
give.
Ed. Reg,ster-To those having daughters
we are compelled to say that too many of
them are too careless of their associations
and manner of conducting themselves.
Street promenading at night is not the prop
er thing to be allowed, nor are the streets at
night, or the bridges, the proper place for
the young to meet or make engagements to
meet.
Parents cannot be too careful in these
matters, and such q state of morals now ex
lists as to justify the above remarks.
Boys and girls, don't do your sparkling and
hugging and Kissing on bridges and in dark
places. Parents, forbid and stop your chill
dren from promenading at night. Your
house, where you can exercise a supervision
and control, is the proper place for your
daughters to receive their company.
This applies to Ironton no more than it
does to surrounding towns-but it does ap-
ply to Ironton, and it ought to be stopped
before worse follows. The young are, es-
pecially, open to evils incident to these
things, and parents, by bringing them into
the world, lay themselves under the duty OF
properly rearing their children. Parents
are themselves guilty when they allow their
daughters to run wild-to promenade at
night, singly or otherwise, and are them
selves to blame for any resultant disgrace.
We think we have made ourselves plain;
have called the attention Of the proper par
ties; have pointed out an evil. Let us see
If it will be needed. D.
